Comments

[knightime]

Yeah. Guess I'm not as great of a hider as I hoped I would be.

[His speech comes out quietly. It's hard to raise your voice when breathing is already difficult.]

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki's not stupid, he knows that they had done more than just find him and he's badly injured.] Are they gone now?

[knightime]

Pretty sure, yeah. Guess it couldn't have the decency to chill until I kicked it. Ass.

[Not that he wanted the teddy bear that just screwed him over watching over him until he died.]

[notagiraffe]

[His eyes fill with tears at the words.] I'm sorry... that they found you...

[knightime]

Hey, don't sweat it.

I'm sorry they found me too, but we can't all be winners in this fucked up tower.

I'll be back. Pretty sure. [Not sure exactly, but he isn't going to assume that dying now was an end all.]

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki nodded, still crying] You will be, no one stays dead here... [Which didn't make anything better, in fact it made a lot of things worse.]

[knightime]

Hey, don't cry. This isn't the first time for me or anything. I mean, after all this bullshit, we can do something cool. Make the tower realize that we're ten times more interesting alive.

Sounds pretty bitching right? [No, stop crying. He can't deal with this. Don't cry for him.]

[notagiraffe]

No one... no one should have to die... [He tries though, to muffle his tears so he doesn't upset the boy.]

Do you think that will work?

[knightime]

Hey...it's worth a try. Right? I mean the worst that can happen is that it continues to be a douchebag tower.

[notagiraffe]

I guess... I... I'm Taiki. What's your name? [So he could remember it, and make sure he was okay, if they ever got out of here.]

[knightime]

It's Dave. 'M pretty sure I'm the only one around here. [Where, there was Lalonde him. But he's pretty sure that one goes by David. Maybe.]

[notagiraffe]

Dave... [He would remember it.] I'm glad I met you Dave... [Even if he was about to die... Taiki was failing at keeping his tears under control.]

[knightime]

Hey man, you make it sound like we won't meet again. That's bullshit.

We'll talk again soon. [He let's out a painful breath. He's having trouble getting enough air in his lungs. He isn't sure if he's getting any really.]

[notagiraffe]

Sorry... I didn't mean to... [Death and injury is so terrible it is hard to remember that people come back. The pain is the same after all... and the cruelty...]

We will... I'll see you when this ends... [If this ever ended...]

[knightime]

Yeah, I know. I mean, this tower is big, but not that big.

We can do something fun after. Hide n' seek is such a shit game anyways. Lets do tag or a board game. [A board game sounds ten times better then playing hide n' seek with crazy teddy bears.]

[notagiraffe]

I like board games! And tag! [He and Sanshi used to play tag all the time on Mount Hou.] Playing games would be nice...

[knightime]

We can play all that crap after. No shitty rules or crazy teddy bears. Just us and whoever else wants to join in.

[notagiraffe]

I am sure... lots of people would like to play... it will be fun... [His words are punctuated with tears, as fails at not crying.]

[knightime]

It'll be so much more fun, the entire tower will be jealous at how much fun we had. [He hisses out the words practically. It's hard to breath.]

[notagiraffe]

[And Taiki's words are choaked with tears.] Well we can invite our friends... but not the people who did this to us... they can be jealous... That we have fun... when they aren't making the games...

[knightime]

Dude, they're already totes jealous. I bet they can hear us and they're already seething that we have some swag plans in the making.

But shit, I think I'm gonna outtie in like a minute. I'm not feeling too great.

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki managed a small smile, that turned into another stifled sob.] I'll... I'll see you when you wake up... [It was almost a question, a request of a promise...]

[knightime]

Yeah. We can e-pinky promise. I got my pinky held out and everything. That shit is intense. I know better than to break a pinky promise. [He tries to chuckle, but it comes out as a pained cough.]

Kim stop breaking my heart

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki held his pinky finger out as well, closing his eyes to try and keep the tears from falling.] Me too, I promise I'll come and see you... when this is over...

Nope. Not done

[knightime]

Your pinky is pretty awesome. Best pinky promise I've gotten since forever. Be careful alright? [Sob. He doesn't ever find out what happens to Taiki does he...]
